Executive Director | shoshi@uahillel.org
Shoshi is a proud Arizona alum who's thrilled to be back in the desert, where her own Jewish journey began. After more than 15 years leading Jewish nonprofits in Toronto, including roles in student engagement, Jewish education, Jewish overnight camping, fundraising, and community building, she's excited to return to Arizona and invest in the next generation of Jewish leaders.
Shoshi believes college is a time to explore, connect, and grow, and loves creating opportunities for students to build meaningful relationships, celebrate Jewish life, engage with Israel, and make Hillel their home away from home.
When she's not on campus, you'll find Shoshi exploring Arizona with her goofy dog, Loki, searching for a great cup of coffee, or reconnecting with the community she's always been proud to call home.
Whether you're a student, alum, parent, or community member, Shoshi is always happy to connect!
